Sorry, but I’m ignorant to most of this stuff. By on air, what do you mean. I’ve been keeping it on the home screen when not watching other channels. Thought about deleting the be, then installing again. Have you ever been able to watch it. I believe it would be my favorite channel.

Yes, this was a watchable channel. Over the past year or so, more and more of the programs have been taken off, and old commercials were airing. The network people do not respond to this forum, making me think they jumped ship on us.

Does this channel even show the series listed on its online schedule? All I have seen so far is vintage TV commercials, which, while enjoyable, are not meant to be the only programming, merely a supplement to an actual TV series.

Glad to see there’s a place to watch “Gunsmoke” since StarzEncore Westerns took them off the Saturday matinee! I’d love to see some of the old medical shows, too, like Ben Casey, Dr. Kildare, Medic! Keep up the good ol’ work–us’ns who were young’uns are just pure ol’ D-elighted there’s a place we can keep them childhood mem’ries alive!

Are you planning to bring any new or returning programming? I enjoy Jack Benny at night, but there is little else on after work anymore; all commercial fill-ins. The BW is a great alternative to regular TV, but there is little to watch anymore. Please work on this; it will be appreciated!

Please work on this once great station. Too many repeats, too many half hour blocks of commercials. There’s great classic tv to choose from including the shows currently scheduled & many others if you can’t get additional episodes of your current line up.

I have been trying to watch this channel for over a week and all I see are commecials. I have watched commercials for over 30 minutes waiting for the shows and never see the shows. How do I watch the shows on this channel?

It’s been an “up and down” thing with this channel. The shows on it are excellent – it’s always fun to catch up with Dennis the Menace, Car 54, Bilko, Superman, The Addams Family etc. For the past year or so, The B/W showed a short selection from each series during the month. This meant that there were ‘reruns’ of some episodes. I got used to it,
if the episodes rerun weren’t bad to begin with, that’s fine …it’s not
as if I was cemented in front of the TV and watching just this one
channel. Previous to that, though, many different episodes of each series were broadcast during the month, with reruns of episodes being far and few between. However, within the past week, this is now the end of the year 2015, the B/W has just about collapsed. Many of the series are not shown – at all. Their time slots are filled up with the vintage commercials, as well as some new ones. Of the shows being broadcast, most are showing the exact same episode each and every day! Bilko’s “The Twitch”, Car 54’s episode with Conrad Nagel, the Little Rascals’ “Shrimp For A Day” etc. The Lassie episodes are different, as well as the Dragnet episodes. Nonetheless, I can only hope that come the New Year, The B/W will get back on track and start showing different episodes, many more different episodes if the series broadcast, remain the same.

Yes goodness forbid you have a commercial for, you know, stopping a possible murder. I mean with a variety of birth control for men and women, the morning after pill and.. GASP… abstinence.. Why WOULDN’T one choose to bypass ALL of that and decide while rubbing one’s hands together that abortion is a superior option! This is not the damn 50’s and 60’s! Be responsible!

It’s great to have this channel on my Roku to look in at my old favorite TV shows from my youth, and its also good that you have a consistent schedule so as to know precisely which shows are on at what times.Thank you B&W.

I just checked out some of the shows that I used to watch here on The B/W to see if, maybe, they might’ve been scheduled in again. I used to always enjoy The Adventures of Superman, Gunsmoke (half hour episodes), The Addams Family … among others. But, for some time now, they weren’t always on…the time slots filled with vintage commercials. To my surprise, they were back! Hopefully, there will be more, as well as a change in some of the episodes shown. I have a lot of these series on DVD. But, it’s still cool to know that I can tune in a show, such as those above, and enjoy it.

Wow, within the week since I’d written, lamenting that it seemed as if The B/W was getting ready to be tossed from the Roku line up, it has picked up! It seems as if the shows are making their normal appearance in their schedules. Only a few of the shows, the shows that I watch, are not being shown, though scheduled. Now, it would be great if Adventures of Superman, Gunsmoke and Car 54, Where Are You? are shown again, well that would be great!

What happened to this great channel?!!!! More and more of the shows have just dropped off their “schedule”, only to be filled with a half an hour’s worth of commercials. The incredible mix of shows of the 50s and 60s on the B/W could not be beat. I can only hope that the powers that be…whoever monitors/programs this channel, would see the light and get things back to what they once were.

This channel is wonderful except if you watch a lot like I do you will see the same episode of a show that you watched last week or the week before so the bench is not as deep as I would like. But I still love watching. If all ROKU channels were built this way I would be so happy.

I particularly enjoy, among many of the other classic shows broadcast on The B/W: Car 54, Where Are You?, Sgt Bilko, Superman, Gunsmoke, Dennis The Menace, Mike Hammer, Peter Gunn, Dragnet, Amos & Andy, The Invisible Man, Fireball XL-5, The Addams Family, Mr Ed, and My Favorite Martian. I realize that nowadays, many of these don’t play on B/W, having the half hour’s worth of commercials instead. they all used to play correctly, not so very long ago….maybe around October. i hope that the B/W can get their monitoring of their programming straightened out and once again have these shows broadcast, once again, without the glitches.

I did enjoy it,but since no-one takes care of it’s programming,it goes on retro commercial rolls never showing the show.Superman,The Lone Ranger,are currently retro commercials,last week it was My Favorite Martian that got eaten by retro commercials,and The Addams Family never has made it to air “Retro commercials”.But in the case of The Addams Family,the commercials are a marked improvement over the show. “Addams Family sucked in 1964,and still does today. Do you need someone that actually cares if the shows are broadcasted? Also I don’t think B/W has very many episodes of any of their programming.

I love this channel, and agree it is done right.. Thank you!! So good to see some of these shows again.. On the most part my Roku, works well.. It freezes up now and then, but I much rather deal with that, than put out a bunch of money out for the crap you get on Cable/Directv

It would be done right if they’d monitor it more. If your show don’t start on time,you’ll be watching retro commercials throughout it’s entire time slot. IE:Superman,and The Lone Ranger haven’t been on in a week, (Great monitoring) last couple of weeks My Favorite Martian was eaten by retro commercials,but is OK so far now. Look I’d love it,if it worked correctly,and I’ll bet they don’t even bother to read this page.Why should they? I mean if they’ve a product that they cared about,then they’d take care of it.

I enjoy the cigarette ads,because they are retro,and I saw them new. Deal with it,and we can all enjoy the B/W,that is if they’d hire someone to monitor it. If your show doesn’t start after Delta Queen commercial,it’s another 1/2 hour of commercials,”NO SHOW”

Ever since the b/w did their update, every time I run that channel it royally f***s up my wireless router. I mean, sometimes I have to reset my router twice a day for a couple days. When I don’t watch the b/w, the router works perfectly all the time. Too bad, because I love that channel, but the headaches it is giving me are making me hate it. I am done, and will not watch it again.

It hasn’t ever messed up my wireless router,”Yet”but I’m using R.O.K.U. instead of PC, but the channel seems to be riddled with programming errors that obviously there’s no one around monitoring,or they’d be corrected quicker.

It’s Christmas Eve 2013 at 3:14 am. I joined the BW as soon as I saw the collage on the welcome screen. It had Perry Mason in the lower right corner. My daughter watched a Perry Mason on DVD and fell in love with it… I came online to see the line up of shows and it’s not listed. But their are several shows I miss from when I was a kid that I am looking forward to seeing again. Just wondering if they change the line up from time to time and if they do how often?….Merry Christmas and Happy New Year…. Recalcitrant

Just “discover” the BW channel and I really enjoy the oldies on this channel. Gunsmoke, Andy, Lucy, and Leave it to Beaver. The oldies but goodies. I hope one day you add the tv show Combat to the lineup, boy that was a classic.
